additional services. Where the person’s mental and or physical health prevents them from attending DWP

Our referral and signposting networks will ensure people do not need to ‘repeat’ their story many times, service
users can come to us via a variety of methods and based at the service that they first contacted.

Once service users are tackling the issues around money, we will ensure that service users are also seeking support
for their mental health, and are offered additional support according to their social needs, for example family
groups, counselling etc.
